Hi Eric & Mons,
I’m one of the PAUSE admins. I’m working on resolving conflicts caused by PAUSE
now considering package names case insensitively. This has left us with some
situations where two or more people are owners of namespaces previously
considered distinct, and now considered the same.
Eric (ASG) has ownership of the namespace “Lvalue”, with the Lvalue module
being on CPAN in the Lvalue distribution. And Mons has ownership of “lvalue”,
which is on CPAN in the lvalue distribution.
These two packages are now considered the same by PAUSE when looking at
permissions, which means there’s a conflict with your dual ownership, which
means that any releases you do now won’t be indexed.
There are at least two ways we can resolve this:
1. One of you could rename your module and distribution.
Eg Mons, you could switch to Sub::lvalue, or Attribute::lvalue
2. You could delete one of your distributions from CPAN. I can do this for
you.
Eg Eric, I notice that your distribution doesn’t install on any Perl since
5.17.1

How would you like to progress?
PAUSE doesn’t let situations like this occur any more; I’m working on resolving
the existing cases.
Cheers,
Neil
